I am not very good at "Fancy Pants" stuff, I'm all thumbs when it comes to decorating, but I would love to learn about it.

Same here! I'm excited to see where this goes... My sister did our wedding cake last may and since then I've repeated her recipe 3 or 4 times with not-so-great results... Wouldn't mind some experts giving thier 2 cents worth!

We'll work on the particulars - plan it CAREFULLY - so don't expect overnight results. Just know that it is being discussed. It may have too many overlapping areas - we just have to discuss it more.

But please, if you have a question about any of the topics mentioned - just post them anyway in the appropriate forum. If you aren't sure there is a forum for what you need to know just post in Miscellaneous.

My cousin did a lot of her daughter's wedding reception and dinner. One of the things she did was a cake tree. I'm not sure I can explain how she did it, but if you can imagine a tree trunk with the limbs extending off with a tray for a cake on the end of each limb, that is about as close as I can explain. She made about 25 different cakes to go on the trays and trimmed the trunk and branches with sparkling tulle and mini white lights, with white and red roses. She also made several cakes, duplicates of those on the tree and they were served from a table decorated to match. The cakes on the tree were not served until the others were cut and served. The florist she used bought the tree and trimmings from her for quite a hefty price. It was beautiful and the cakes were wonderful.
